Every building should have fire
preventing equipment installed: NMMC
Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation
has warned that every residential and commercial buildings within the
jurisdiction of NMMC should have a permanent fire extinguishing gadgets installed.
All the city residents, business owners and commercial building owners have
been asked to make note of this.
As per Maharashtra Fire Prevention
and Life Saving Scheme Act 2006 and Act 2009, it is compulsory for every
building to install fire preventing gadget and obtain license from Licensing
Agency and forward the certificate to Fire Brigade Department. Accordingly NMMC
did the inspection of all the buildings in Navi Mumbai and those which were
found violating the fire safety rules were given notices and asked to do the
necessary within 30 days.
The owners of these buildings were
told that if they failed to install fire extinguishing gadget, then as per law
the electric supply and water supply of those buildings would be cut off. Not
only that, those violating the rules would be punished as per concerned
individual/organization Act 36.
During the survey by NMMC it was
found that those violating the rules included: In Vashi: 87 buildings, 15
Hotels, 1 mall, 2 schools/colleges, 7 Hospital. In CBD: 32 buildings, 10
hotels, 0 malls, 4 schools/colleges, 4 hospitals. In Nerul: 25 buildings. In
Airoli: 46 buildings, 10 hotels, 4 hospitals, 1 laundry etc. In Sanpada: 102
buildings, 3 hotels, 1 mall, 5 schools/colleges, 3 hospitals and 1 laundry etc.
In Koparkhairane: 208 buildings. In all: 500 buildings, 38 hotels, 2 malls, 17
schools/colleges, 18 hospitals and 4 laundries etc.
NMMC should be lauded for giving
serious consideration to the idea of installing fire equipment in all the residential
and commercial places. The corporation is not only issuing notices to
defaulters but also implementing their threats in order to ensure that there is
no structure in the city without fire equipment installed. That is really
laudable!
